The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Lots of interesting things going on.

First off, who knew that Trump's Bestest Buddies in the Senate were none other than Tammy Baldwin and Bob Casey?

dailymail.co.uk - Democratic ads trump pennsylvania bob casey tammy baldwin

wo Democratic senators facing reelection in battleground states are pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars into adverts that play up their support for Donald Trump and his policies, according to an exclusive analysis of broadcast data.

It suggests they are trying to win over Trump supporters to hold their seats, even if it undermines Kamala Harris' campaign.

In key counties in Pennsylvania, Sen. Bob Casey has shifted the bulk of his TV advertising to a 30-second spot entitled 'Independent' that features a married couple comprising a Republican and Democrat explaining how he 'bucked Biden to protect fracking and he sided with Trump to end NAFTA and put tariffs on China.'

Sen. Bob Casey is now running his 'Independent' ad in 100 percent of his buys in the media markets of Erie, Pittsburgh, Johnstown, and Harrisburg. It ties him more close with Trump policies. He has stuck with an ad attacking his rival in the east of the state


You don't say. Wonder why they'd highlight this supposed bipartisanship?

Then there's this: there's been an uptick in democrat buyers' remorse with Harris of late. First, The Hill:

What if Joe Biden was the better candidate all along?

And the National Interest:
nationalinterest.org - Forget kamala harris should democrats have picked michelle obama

Forget Kamala Harris: Should Democrats Have Picked Michelle Obama?
Many people believed that former First Lady Michelle Obama was slated to be called upon by her party to replace the aging Joe Biden at the last second. Could she have beaten Donald Trump?


LOL at the past tense phrasing in the subheadline.
